Valentino Rossi teases Luca Marini news with a cryptic social media post
The🍎 MotoGP legend shared an image, without a caption or explanation, of himself wearing Honda colours.
His brother 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini is🌳 𒈔deep in talks to become a Repsol Honda rider next season.
Rossi's cryptic message appeared to confirm that Marini will follow in his fo♋otsteps by heading to🎀 the Japanese manufacturer in 2024.
Rossi won his first three world championships in co🦋nsecutive seasons while riding for Honda, between 2011-2003.
He later became more famous for his time with Yamaha, but his🦂 year🐈s at Honda were a crucial step.
The intrigue toওday is that Marini, Rossi's sibling, is replacing Marc Mar🌄quez, Rossi's hated rival.
But Rossi's social media post is the first indiไcation that Marini's decision to leave VR46 and go to Honda has his blessing.
VR46's Uccio Salucci previously insisted that the team would not attempt to stop Marini from joining a factory team because﷽ they want to prioritise their riders' progress.
Rossi's VR46 ꩲteam have enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2023.
Marco Bezzecchi, who until recently was firmly in the hunt for the championship, has impressed and had an offer to quit VR46's year-old spec⛄ bike for an up-to-date Pramac machine n༺ext season. But he refused, preferring to stay under Rossi's wing.
Surpisingly and somewha💦t out of nowhere, it now seems that the VR46 rider to quit the team will be Marini.
